Sarah Burge, 'Human Barbie', Gives Liposuction Voucher To 7-Year-Old Daughter For Christmas (PHOTO)

Human Barbie Mum Buys Daughter Liposuction Voucher

The Huffington Post   First Posted: 01/04/12 02:24 PM ET Updated: 01/04/12 06:16 PM ET

Sarah Burge, the woman known as the "Human Barbie," gave her daughter Poppy a bizarre stocking stuffer this Christmas: a liposuction voucher worth about $11,000.

The 7-year-old was reportedly excited about the gift, and mom is confident the money will be well spent one day in the future.

In an interview with the British tabloid Closer, Burge disclosed her thoughts about what some are calling an inappropriate gift for a young girl.

"She asks for surgery all the time. She wants to look good and liposuction is one of those procedures that will always come in handy," Burge told the magazine.

The full interview is featured in the current issue of Closer, which is available in the United Kingdom.

But the liposuction voucher isn't the first cosmetic surgery gift certificate Poppy's received from her mother.

Last year, the self-proclaimed little "diva" received a voucher for breast augmentation, which she can redeem at age 18, if she so chooses.

"I think it's great because you can change yourself if you're not happy," Poppy said in a video interview that aired on daytime talk show "The Doctors."

Burge defended her nontraditional gift to Poppy, arguing that it makes her daughter happy.

"Girls don't want Snow White and Cinderella any more ... I'm just supporting her and making her dreams come true," she told Closer during a recent interview.

Burge first came into the spotlight after undergoing hundreds of plastic surgery procedures.

In a video segment featured on "The Doctors", the mother even confessed she liked being awake during procedures so she can tell doctors exactly what she wants.

"If he's not pulling tight enough, I'll say 'pull a little bit tighter,'" she said.

It is definitely wrong, but there is always worst. Looking at the video, I'm more scared of the surgeon being able to practice while looking like a complete moron.

I wanna know.....is it just as difficult to put her clothes on as it is the dang dolls?

Where is the father in this sick family? He should take his children and leave this demented woman. She has no value as a mother or a woman.

What does she get for her birthday? Implants?

Another moron of a parent. If only people could pass exams and be licensed before reproducing. Has silicone gone to her head? To say this child is happy to get this plastic surgery voucher is disingenuous. She's the one who's instilling these perverted values into her daughter. What a lesson to learn early in life, that your entire self worth is tied to how you look. Maybe a voucher for therapy and eating disorders clinic would have been a better investment. The mother had passed on her silly self absorbed neurosis to this innocent child who'll never know better.

Sorry to say, worth is tied to how you look, has always been so with humans, will always be so. Life's most basic function is sex and reproduction, add to that our advanced mental notions of beauty, and yes, you ARE worth more the better you look.

What could be argued is whether cosmetic surgery really helps you look better. Often times it does not!

This child will have deep psychoses and feelings of inadequacies for the rest of her life due to her mother, who in no doubt has the same psychoses. What a tragic distortion of reality for a young life. My heart cries for this child.

"I think it's great because you can change yourself if you're not happy,"

Oh. Great message to teach your child. Don't love yourself for who you are...because if you have money, you can change yourself! WEEE!

The joys of being a rich white girl!

well as long as she looks like the one who had 11 procedures done in one day.

Didn't know that only white people got plastic surgery. Why are you being so racist & assuming that no other race has these surgeries? Are you really that deliberately ignorant?? Please edumacate yourself before making STUPID statements.

The joys of being blissfully ignorant!!!

Oh brother..... bringing up another generation of superficial shallow people who think it's more important to be pretty on the outside.
